................if possible?
My niece wants to take her partner to Paris for the 6 N's France v Wales match next year.
Will it be possible for her to buy tickets directly from the FFR box office rather than through an agency like Ticketmaster?
Merci!

In my experience it's usually quite straightforward. I've been three times and just bought them online from the FFR site

Really? I was always told it was utterly impossible to get them any way other than through clubs!

Been a few times going back to the Toony flick with my dad and I in tears. In those days you got a ticket for about 50Francs and you just got a section to sit in. My favourite trip, will be going again next year

Wales, Ireland, England yes. France Italy much easier.

Nope. Have regularly bought mind direct over the years. Much harder now as it seems so many more are pre-allocated to commercial touts.

Well there you go.

My dads old French mate in Paris (spoke no English, dad spoke no French) consistently used to “tell” him it was impossible to get tickets in France so could he send him a couple.

The prick 😂

While we have the attention of the frogs, what supermarket is best? We're big fans of hypermarches and plan on loading the car before we leave on Friday but I'd rather not be buying from the French version of Iceland.

Carrefour?
E Leclerc?
Intermarche?
A.N. Other?

I do the bulk of my shopping back home in Lidl (helps that we have one of the upmarket ones close to our house) but found the continental versions a bit downbeat.
